Welcome to our 7investing\xa0Market Madness competition! Throughout this campaign, we\u2019re matching popular stocks up against one another to determine which will be the best investment over the next three years. And then, by voting in the poll at the bottom of the article, you can help us determine which stock will go on to the next round!

Our rankings are determined by the total return of the stock during calendar 2022. The highest-ranked stock had the best overall return of those in our tournament, and our lowest-ranked stock had the lowest overall return.

In this first-round matchup, search and AI giant\xa0Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL)\xa0squares up against the cloud-based continual monitor platform\xa0Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG).\xa0Alphabet\u2019s stock fell (38%) in 2022, while Datadog was down (60%).

But past performance is not predictive of future returns. Which of these stocks do you believe will provide investors with the best\xa0forward\xa0three-year return? Read our investing thesis and cast your vote in the poll below!
